Jared McNally

Partner

Jared is a Partner and Head of the Criminal, Fraud and Regulatory department. He has developed and maintained a heavy criminal practice which involves representing those accused of the most serious of offences including murder, firearms, conspiracy to supply drugs, fraud and serious sexual offences. He has a well-earned reputation for his detailed preparation, tactically astute advice and he offers a first class service to all his clients.

Jared almost exclusively defends in serious and complex crime. He has appeared in many high profile cases. Given the constraints on legal aid, Jared has developed a significant private practice representing individuals and professionals in various fields. Legal aid doesn’t always cover the sheer amount of work that Jared believes is necessary to do a case properly. A criminal conviction for many of his clients would destroy their career, reputation and family. As a result Jared now has a national private practice and is often instructed by professionals across the UK including London, Guernsey and the Isle of Sheppey.

Jared approaches every case with the same high standards. Clients find him direct, knowledgeable and passionate about the work that he does. Where appropriate, he takes an aggressive and proactive approach to cases whether it be pre or post charge.

Jared was a former Partner of a niche city centre law firm specialising in white collar crime, business crime and large complex fraud.

Jared also has considerable experience of advising and representing interested parties at Coroner’s inquests arising from hospital deaths, alleged neglect and deaths in custody. He regularly represents nurses, midwives and prison officers and has a particular interest in Article 2 inquests.

Jared has vast experience in defending clients from professional backgrounds. He has a well-earned reputation for his thorough and methodical approach. He is well liked by clients and members of the legal profession.
